Archive Books Special
b"Welcome to the third Backlisted Special. John and Nicky are joined by literary agents Becky Brown and Norah Perkins returning for their third appearance, having previously discussed the work of Barbara Pym and Dorothy B. Hughes. Becky and Norah are joint custodians of the Curtis Brown Heritage list of literary estates, so they have selected seven books from the archive \\u2013 by women novelists, queer gardeners and anti-fascists - that they feel should be better known and more widely read and discussed. The timings may differ due to adverts:\\n10'50 One Fine Day\\xa0- Mollie Panter-Downes \\n18'38 Mistletoe Malice\\xa0- Kathleen Farrell \\n27'51 The Charioteer\\xa0- Mary Renault \\n36'03 The Land\\xa0and\\xa0The Garden\\xa0- Vita Sackville-West \\n43'11 Merry Hall\\xa0- Beverley Nichols. \\n50'08 Conversations in Sicily\\xa0- Elio Vittorini \\n57'30 The Light and the Dark - C.P.
